Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of participants showing differences of electrophysiological activity after personalized but not standard stimulation protocols

    Depending of the personalized stimulation protocol, the differences of electrophysiological activity can the presence of event-related potentials (N100, mismatch negativity, P300, etc.) or alterations of neural oscillations. The personalized stimulation protocol will be chosen according to the families' feeling of a presence.

    standard stimulations: 28 days after recruiting patients

Study Arms (1)

electroencephalography recording

EXPERIMENTAL

Cerebral measurements from high-density electroencephalography after the presentation of personalized stimulations

Device: high-density electroencephalography

Interventions

electroencephalography recording
